The family was chatting happily, and a servant came to report outside the door that the emperor had issued an imperial edict.
Although the Tang Dynasty did not need to be as exaggerated as burning incense and bathing in welcoming imperial edicts, at least respect was still needed. Fang Xuanling took her whole family to the main gate to greet the imperial edict.
The one who came to deliver the decree was Wang De, the most trusted leader of the chamberlain around His Majesty Li Er.
With a smile on his face, the old eunuch first bowed politely to Fang Xuanling and Princess Gaoyang, then entered the main hall surrounded by Fang's family, stood in the hall, and opened the imperial edict in his hand.
"Under the family: The Fang family is full of people. They are all loyal and good. A family that has accumulated good deeds will definitely be happy. The prince-in-law Fang is Jun, with outstanding literary talent. He is noble and thrifty. He follows the rules without hesitation. His conduct is correct, his nature is righteous, and his behavior is good. Yun Wen Yun Wu, the guideline of the four directions. Now I enfeoff Fang Jun as the Marquis of Huating County, the founding of the country from the third level, and lead the right-wing military guard general, in charge of the marching affairs of Canghaidao. I hope that you will live up to the divine grace and fulfill your duties..."
I don’t know who drafted this imperial edict. Everyone in the Fang family felt a little blushing when they heard it.
Knowledgeable? Orbital peace? Dunmu Jiaren?
Return the righteousness of his nature and his good deeds...
Does it sound so fake?
Fang Jun's eyes twitched and he cursed in his heart, "Isn't this a curse?" It sounds like the rhetoric is gorgeous and full of praise, but in fact it is all irony!
Li Er, Li Er, you are an emperor after all, are you too petty?
Needless to say, His Majesty Li Er definitely wanted to promote Fang Jun to his position and use him to stabilize the south of the Yangtze River and open up the East China Sea route, but he was also unhappy with him for always causing trouble for the emperor again and again...
The revenge is too strong!
However, apart from the "irony" throughout the article, the rest of the content made Fang Jun very satisfied.
From the third-grade founding of the country, Marquis of Huating County was a title, General Youwuwei was an official rank, and being in charge of the marching affairs of Canghaidao was a position.
The rank of General Youwuwei is just an idle official position. Basically, every prince-in-law starts as a prince-in-law and is then promoted to a general of a certain guard. Of course, for other princes-in-law, this promotion process may take ten, twenty or even ten years. For a lifetime, Fang Jun married Princess Gaoyang yesterday, and now he is General Youwuwei, which is extremely fast.
The person in charge of the Canghaidao Marching Affairs is commonly known as the "Canghaidao Marching Chief". This is just a position, not an official rank, nor permanent, but it has great power. Almost everything that goes out to sea is under the control of Fang Jun!
And you can't let the entire Grand Administrative Palace float on the sea, you have to set aside an area on land as a base. No matter which state, prefecture or county this base is in, it exists above the local government. Who said that the level of the general manager Fang Jun is too high?
This is the agreement between Fang Jun and His Majesty Li Er, and it has the proper meaning in the title. The third-grade Marquis of Huating County is His Majesty Li Er's compensation for the past.
only……
According to Fang Jun's historical knowledge, Huating County was not established until the middle and late Tang Dynasty. Nowadays, the area is mostly saline-alkali land and tidal flats. At most, it is just a few small fishing villages. How can there be a county government?
And even if there are, there probably won’t be many people...
All the Fang family members accepted the order and thanked him.
Fang Jun asked Wang De to stay for a cup of tea and rest, but Wang De declined, saying that there were still matters in the palace and he would go back to resume his duties. After Fang Jun accepted the imperial edict, he took his leave.
The imperial edicts of the Tang Dynasty had not yet reached the Ming and Qing dynasties, and were treated as incomparable treasures that could not be desecrated. After receiving the imperial edicts, ministers had to put them away in a safe place and not show them to others. The family members in the hall passed the imperial edict back and forth and praised it.
The most excited person is Lu...
Fang Xuanling's title is Liang Guogong, and this title can only be inherited by the eldest son in the future. In the past, this would have been no problem. As the eldest son, Fang Yizhi inherited the family business and his father's position as a matter of course.
But after Fang Jun's strong rise, this "natural and right" became less solid, especially after marrying Princess Gaoyang, which made the situation even worse. Once Fang Jun is interested in this title, with his own strength and the support of Princess Gaoyang, Fang Yi may not be able to fight against him.
Brothers fighting endlessly for titles is a sign of prodigality...
Now, Mr. Lu has put down a big stone in his heart.
This is the Founding County Duke, and with Princess Gaoyang, His Majesty's favorite daughter, it is not impossible to advance to the next level in time and become the Founding County Duke, or even the Founding County Duke. By that time, the title of Duke would not be far away. Presumably the two brothers would not turn against each other and cause trouble for Xiao Qiang over such a title.
And since he has become a prince-in-law, he will probably not think that he was deprived of his title because of a trivial matter like before...
Princess Gao Yang pouted slightly, a little dissatisfied.
"My father is so stingy that he only gave him a third-grade marquis. He must be a prince after all. Otherwise, how is he different from other princes-in-law?"
In her opinion, Fang Jun was originally a marquis, but he was just deprived of it. Her father now restored the title but did not go further, which was a bit stingy...
That's not what Fang Jun is concerned about. From now on, he will be living in the south, and he won't have to go to court all the time. It's not a big deal to wear purple or crimson official uniforms. He is more concerned about his fiefdom...
Fiefs are based on titles.
For example, Fang Xuanling's Liang Guogong, "Liang" was one of the vassal states in the Spring and Autumn Period, and his address was probably near Kaifeng, where Fang Xuanling's fiefdom was located.
As for the county princes who were several levels lower than the Duke of Zhiguo, the fiefdom could not be a prominent place in such ancient vassal states.
Why is Guan Yu's "Han Shoutinghou" so controversial?
Isn’t it just because Hanshou was not famous in ancient times?
According to the "Biography of Guan Yu" in Volume 36 of "Three Kingdoms", in the fifth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao granted Guan Yu the title of "Han Shoutinghou". There have always been two views on whether "Han Shoutinghou" is the Shoutinghou of Han or the Tinghou of Han Shouting: one view is that the "Han" in "Han Shoutinghou" is the name of the dynasty, and "Shoutinghou" is the name of the dynasty. His title, title, and fiefdom were in the place of "Shouting", or it was simply a nice name, that is, "Han" was the name of the dynasty. Another view is that "Hanshou" in "Hanshou Tinghou" is the place name, and "Tinghou" is the title of the title, that is, "Hanshou" is the place name, and it is the "Tinghou" whose fiefdom is in "Hanshou".
Maybe my "Huating Hou" is similar to the previous explanation of "Han Shouting Hou"...
I couldn't figure out whether Huating County had been established during the Zhenguan period, so I had to ask Fang Xuanling.
Fang Xuanling was also a little confused...
It is true that he is the prime minister and assistant minister of the dynasty, and it is also true that he is in charge of the government affairs of the country, but it is impossible that everyone in the country has heard of it and has had an impression of it, right?
Lao Fang tugged at his beard and thought hard, but he still couldn't remember where this place was.
Fang Jun was a little desperate...
At this time, King Li Yuanjia of Han saw his father-in-law's troubled face and interrupted, "I have heard of this place called Huating."
After that, it’s a quiet moment.
Naturally, it was impossible for Fang Xuanling to ask his son-in-law "Where is Huating?" It was a bit embarrassing for the prime minister to know where the country was.
And Fang Jun just glanced at Li Yuanjia, without even the slightest intention of asking.
This guy still remembers what happened when Li Yuanjia beat him secretly in front of his father just now...
Li Yuanjia originally wanted to show off his knowledge in front of his father-in-law, but unexpectedly he was left in the cold, which was a bit embarrassing...
Princess Fang glanced at her father, then at her second brother who was looking at the beam, then stretched out her hand and pinched Li Yuanjia's arm, saying angrily: "You are the only one who can do it, right? If you know, just say it, no." If you know it, just shut up, why are you trying to sell it!"
He scolded Li Yuanjia and helped him out.
Li Yuanjia hurriedly climbed down the pole and said with an apologetic smile: "What the princess said is absolutely true. I know I am wrong... This Huating is located on the outskirts of Suzhou and belongs to Kunshan County. It was originally a naval garrison. Due to the permanent presence of troops stationed there, it gradually became more and more popular." It developed into a market town. Under the organization of His Royal Highness King Wei, I participated in the compilation of "Tuo Di Zhi", and happened to be responsible for the collection and organization of the Jiangnan area. I have seen this place name in the Suzhou Prefecture Chronicle."
After saying that, he looked at Fang Jun with a slightly proud look.
Although I am not as talented and talented as you, and I cannot write such famous poems and lines that are popular and will last forever, but we don’t give it to you in vain! The victory map of the country is all in my belly!
However, Fang Jun couldn't care less about ridiculing Li Yuanjia's display, he was already dumbfounded...
Your Majesty, your Majesty, are you too stingy to grant a market town, which is located in the countryside, a remote area, and where soldiers gather together, to a county prince as a fief?
